Closest thing to a new Tenchu game

[DolbyDigital]

When I watched the trailer I thought it was a new Tenchu game. So I googled and read somewhere that they started this game as a new game in the Tenchu series but then it quickly became it's own thing. Any old school Tenchu fans out there? I played Tenchu and Tenchu 2 on the PS1 so many hours it's almost criminal. I also played most of the other Tenchu games too but the first 2 were just amazing imo.

Looking at these boards, it seems like most gamers just think this will be another souls game. I think that will lead to unmet expectations since it really sounds like this is more stealth ninja type gameplay. Either way I'm excited and glad we are getting something new even related to Tenchu :)

Same here loved the old Tenchu games. Though i barely remember their plot by now lol.

I'd say Sekiro is a Tenchu-like game ;)

I absolutely loved the Tenchu series man. Still hoping they revive that IP someday but this new game looks pretty cool.

I can't wait! use to bring my ps1 and tenchu to school to play at lunch time lol.

Was just watching this video, puts a big smile on my face as it looks like a modern Tenchu :)

Ripping around up on buildings, jumping down on enemies, can't wait :)
The guy on this video who has played it said it reminded him most of Tenchu and Bloodborne.

Not to mention From Software did publish the underrated Tenchu Z :)

I'm literally making Tenchu 2 levels to sate my appetite 'til this game comes out!

You mean Onimusha.

I did not see very much Tenchu in those videos.

Trying to Achieve Ghost in Dishonored is closer to a Tenchu game.

The one closest to Onimusha right now would be Nioh Imo. Especially when you use the spirit weapons. But anyways we're basically getting remakes /spiritual sequels of really good games and I'm good with that lol.

Yeah, years ago i was in LOVE with tenchu games on ps. Nostalgia u know. Can't wait for Sekiro.

Its pretty much DS but with stealth and Tenchu elements. The word on the street is that Sekiro WAS a tenchu game. But that changed and became a different game.

Dishonored is closer to Thief than Tenchu, but is really its own game.

Also, considering FromSoft made the original Tenchu games the comparison is more than valid for them making a spiritual successor. It's like how people who know the company can trace the dots back from Souls games to King's Field games. That's kind of the way I'm looking at this and Tenchu.

Of course it's not the same game, it's been 11 years since the last Tenchu released. I'm looking forward to seeing what they've done with the formula, and I'm just happy to have another FromSoft stealth game seeing as Dishonored and Styx are the only decent stealth games to come out in the interim.

I forgot to include this link in my original post, below is the article and a quote from the community manager for From Software:

"When we originally set out to create something different from Dark Souls and our previous titles, we thought it would be interesting to make a Japanese themed game. So from that we started going in the direction of the shinobi and ninja, and of course Tenchu was an IP with that history; that was the original impetus for this project. But as we developed and as we partnered with Activision, and started building it together, it started becoming its own thing and the game we wanted to make was no longer just Tenchu, so it really evolved into its own thing"

Yeah, it turns out that you can't full stealth this game. My hype has gone from 100% to about 65% now I know that. Still excited, but it was a bit sad to hear it. I was hoping it might usher in a slew of new ninja stealth games. Maybe it still will.

Not to be a d.ick but what I'm reading here is:

"We originally set out to create something like Tenchu but then Activi$ion got their spoon in our pot and kindly reminded us that Tenchu is ancient history current gamers couldn't give a crap about where as anything even resembling Dark Souls = $$$. Soooo...we did that instead! Enjoy our ninja skinned Dark Souls!!!"

*sigh*

...damn shame really...

It’s a complete different game than tenchu.Its more a souls/bloodborne game than anything else but with stealth

That's the issue a lot of us have, and I think Strider's angle really hits the nail on the head.

I would give it a try even if you are not a fan of the soul series.Try it out for under 2 hours and you can still refund it if you don’t like it
